The testing panel included Burn the Border Collie, Lulu the Cockapoo, Sugar Ray the Pug, and Austin the Australian Shepherd.And to make sure the treats were safe, Lou had a group of humans taste test as well.

After much tasting, the canine favorite was Wagatha’s Super Berry Biscuit and the human favorite was Harmony Farms Health Bars with Apples & Yogurt.

I replicated the experiment on a smaller scale, but my chow hounds didn’t seem to discriminate like the dogs did in Lou’s study.They happily scarfed up any treat that came their way, healthy or not.

Treats made with quality ingredients can get quite expensive, especially if you do a lot of training.Sometimes I’ll make my own treats, so I can control what goes in, but more often I just use fresh meat, like boiled chicken.Fresh, healthy, cheap, and my pups go crazy over the stuff!
